Accessible Parks and Green Spaces Near Our Carlton Mobility Shop

Getting outdoors is a great way to enjoy fresh air, spend time with family and explore more of the local area. Around Carlton and Nottingham, there are several parks and green spaces with surfaced paths, open areas and routes that may be suitable for mobility scooter users.

Before visiting, it is always worth checking the latest accessibility information, as slopes, surfaces and weather conditions can affect how manageable a route feels.

Burton Road Jubilee Park

Located in Carlton, Burton Road Jubilee Park is a convenient option for a shorter local outing. The recreation ground includes open green space, a nature trail, sports facilities, outdoor gym equipment and a children’s play area.

The park’s terrain is considered suitable for people with disabilities, with a footpath around the perimeter that connects visitors to its main facilities. This can make it a practical choice for mobility scooter users looking for a manageable route close to home.

Gedling Country Park

Gedling Country Park is a large green space created on the former Gedling Colliery site. It covers approximately 580 acres and offers impressive views across Nottingham and the surrounding countryside.

Visitors can explore marked trails, footpaths and wildlife habitats, with a visitor centre and café providing somewhere to stop for refreshments. The park has accessible facilities, although some routes include slopes, so choosing a shorter or gentler path may provide a more comfortable visit.

Colwick Country Park

Colwick Country Park is set within around 250 acres of woodland, grassland and open water. Its lakeside setting makes it a lovely option for enjoying peaceful views, watching wildlife or spending time outdoors with family.

The park includes routes that have been graded by their surfaces and gradients to help visitors who may find countryside access more difficult. As path conditions can vary around the lakes and woodland, planning a suitable route before travelling is recommended.

Woodthorpe Grange Park

Woodthorpe Grange Park is a large and attractive green space on the edge of Nottingham. The park includes formal gardens, glasshouses, grassland, wooded areas and the Grade II listed Woodthorpe Grange.

With more than 1,000 trees and a variety of landscaped areas, there is plenty to enjoy during a gentle visit. The site also includes toilets, a café, play areas and parking, although some sections of the park are sloped, so mobility scooter users may wish to choose their route carefully.

Bestwood Country Park

Bestwood Country Park is a larger countryside destination offering woodland, open green spaces and reminders of the area’s mining history. It is a good option for visitors wanting to travel slightly further for a more rural day out.

The park is hilly and includes some steep gradients, although certain paths are wheelchair accessible. The Dynamo House Community Café and Winding Engine House are fully accessible, and accessible toilet facilities are available.
